Simulate drop-out
Arguments
- prob_dropout
Numeric that specifies the probability that a post-baseline visit is affected by study drop-out.
- ids
Factor variable that specifies the id of each subject.
- subset
Binary variable that specifies the subset that could be affected by drop-out. I.e.
subset
is a binary vector of length equal to the length ofids
that takes value1
if the corresponding visit could be affected by drop-out and0
otherwise.
Value
A binary vector of length equal to the length of ids
that takes value 1
if the
corresponding outcome is
affected by study drop-out.
Details
subset
can be used to specify outcome values that cannot be affected by the
drop-out. By default
subset
will be set to 1
for all the values except the values corresponding to the
baseline outcome, since baseline is supposed to not be affected by drop-out.
Even if subset
is specified by the user, the values corresponding to the baseline
outcome are still hard-coded to be 0
.
